II. Auditory = hear it
III. Kinesthetic = touch or experience it
THINKING STYLES
preferred method for processing input=
Carl Jung - 4 psychological types

A. Activist - prefers doing things with others, cooperative learning (what can we do to help out with the problem)
B. Pragmatist - need a practical application, a good reason (ask student why it is important to be on time)
C. Reflective - need time to think about content (needs time to think about the problem)
D. Theorist - likes to adapt input to existing theory, or likes to develop own theory (what theory would explain why this student is late to class)

Converger -
Diverger - needs time to reflect and step away from experience, see more concrete examples

Global - abstract

Multiple Intelligences - Gardner - everybody is capable of each of the 8 to some degree barring some physiological barrier
different kinds of "smarts"
